Congrats, you were determined my buddy, and it paid off. Awesome piece of history thanks for taking us along. Awesome views from the top. Awesome number of parts you found have a great week my friend
Very cool to find all 4 radial engines.........nature has almost taken these pieces.............looks like a challenge........thanks for taking us along.
Awesome, thanks for sharing that rugged hike!! 👍👍 I actually lived in Stephenville in the early 70's, but I don't remember any talk about this crash. Then again, i was pretty young. 🤪😅
@007tallguy it's a hell of a hike but was definitely worth it just for the scenery. It's a place that very few got to go to so figured it be nice to share a video of it. There's a few write ups on the crash on Google too !
Just came across your video, what a view from up there and you did a great trek to get there, never knew about this spot, that was more incredible to find the old pieces on the side of the hill, wow, interesting, just checked out its history, thanks for sharing, what an adventure, +1like sub
@@offgridadventurers In the original "rotary" engines of WWI (Not the Wankel rotary as used by Mazda and NSU, which was not a piston engine at all), the crankshaft was stationary and the engine cylinders spun like a propellor around the shaft. Radial engines looked similar, but the cylinders were static and didn't rotate. This plane was a C-54 Skymaster transport converted to a DC-4 airliner. They were powered by four Pratt+ Whitney 14-cylinder R-2000 twin row radials of 1,100hp.
@@Kingpoint oh really? I'll have to do some looking on Google about that. Always love learning about aviation history. The town I live in (stephenville, nfld) had an American air force base back in the 50s and there's alot of interesting history
Awesome that’s great to hear ! I’ve been meaning to hike into this one myself but I’m on the east side of the island so it’s a trot for me . I have been to all the other prominent ones on the island though and I’d imagine there’s more out your way too that would be worth seeing since the base was there
Likewise! I’ll take you up on that offer ! And if you’re planning on going to Argentia again I’ll show you some hidden gems , I’ve spent many an hour exploring that place too . Lots of crazy things hidden in the woods out there and lots and lots of bunker that are forgotten and hidden by nature reclaiming everything

Its a radial engine not a rotary engine, they are different types of engine.

Very interesting and thanks for posting. Many are still looking for a C-54 Skymaster here in the Yukon that went missing in 1950 (44 people on board).

One in Lake Michigan as well. Many have searched extensively.
Hey buddy awesome video.
Thanks! Another one coming soon!
Great Video ! Too bad the head stones are deteriorating the way they are
@MrClarkM yes it's too bad, but it's in the works to have them replaced with composite wood by next year
Awesome that’s great to hear ! I’ve been meaning to hike into this one myself but I’m on the east side of the island so it’s a trot for me . I have been to all the other prominent ones on the island though and I’d imagine there’s more out your way too that would be worth seeing since the base was there
That being said hopefully you have more videos like this coming haha take her easy man 👍🏼
@MrClarkM let me know when you come out this way, I'm always up for some exploring!
